"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I guess the conclusion that “universities that exploit their students are in the same power structure as corporations that exploit their customers and employees” is unacceptable to you?
The system is fractally corrupt.
So you mean, ttey are as disconnected from the reality of young people as their commancement speech speekers? I guess you're right, and that's sad.
What's sad is that tuition goes up a few significant percentage points over inflation every year and has for decades, even as teaching is off-loaded to slave labor adjuncts.
College is the initiation of citizenry as cash cows for the extractive capitalist system. Not surprising that where you went to college functions as social branding.
Totally, there be some DUMB fucking Ivy Leaguers running society. It's not an education, it's a frathouse.
Genuinely, one thing that got clear the older I get is your education doesn't mean shit, who you know does.
Yeah, and what I've realized is that if you're not connectwd, sucking up to superiors is worth being 10x better at your job.
